Lloyd also threw out the opening pitch. Looking good for 101! Patton Joins the US On our Patton Monument I would like to clarify something. I got a message asking if we had Tank Corps considered placing the monument at Ft Benning. The answer is, no. We never considered the Monument (Update) monument being at Ft Benning as the Patton Museum of Leadership is at Ft Knox. The Armor Battalion Fund Memorial Park is at Ft Knox. We had heard that Ft Benning was looking into the history of the Update US Tank Corps and the combat actions during World War 1. Our original plan was for a plaque. When we were told we could not donate a plaque the museum is who suggested a monument. It was talked about and we decided that since there is nothing about Bourg and the US Tank School in the museum we would dedicate the monument to covering what is not well known about Patton and his service with the US Tank Corps in World War 1.
